Usually kids aren't familiar with the full scope of language (metaphors, allusions, and so-on), meaning when an adult tells one to "keep an eye on the ball", he might as well try to put his eye on the ball.

小孩子们通常不能完全理解语言(当中的隐喻、典故等等),所以当大人告诉孩子“注意看着球(把一只眼睛放在球上)”的时候,他可能真的会把一只眼睛放在球上。

To illustrate that, Bored Panda has collected some of the most hilarious images of kids taking instructions too literally. These little fellows were just trying their best to follow instructions.

Bored Panda网站收集了孩子们“听话”的`搞笑照片,这些孩子们真的是在认真按指令行事呢。
